Made a 10 dollar bet with roomate

That all I would have to do to make a successful thread on Sup Forums would be:

"You remind me of the babe" with a post of Bowie

the babe with the power

it's a sunday, the board is slow and you will lose the bet

I hope not. It seemed like an easy 10 bucks.

Define "successful."

That wasn't actually defined in the agreement. I think, basically, anything over 50 posts would count as "successful". It's a gentlemen's bet anyway. No heads are going to roll regardless of the outcome.

Yeah but adding the other shit to your post explaining the bet alters your end of the bet

So this thread shouldn't count for the sake of our arrangement? Interesting point.

Shame it's not actually the cover. Close enough though.

David Bowie turned marketing into the essence of his art. All great phenomena of popular music, from Elvis Presley to the Beatles, had been, first and foremost, marketing phenomena (just like Coca Cola and Barbie before them); however, Bowie turned that into an art of its own. With Bowie the science of marketing becomes art; art and marketing become one. There were intellectuals who had proclaimed this theory in rebellious terms. Bowie was, in many ways, the heir, no matter how perverted, of Andy Warhol's pop art and of the underground culture of the 1960s. He adopted some of the most blaspheme issues and turned them upside down to make them precisely what they had been designed to fight: a commodity.
Bowie was a protagonist of his times, although a poor musician: to say that Bowie is a musician is like saying that Nero was a harp player (a fact that is technically true, but misleading). Bowie embodies the quintessence of artificial art, raises futulity to paradigm, focuses on the phenomenon rather than the content, makes irrelevant the relevant, and, thus, is the epitome of everything that went wrong with rock music.

tell me about it
